[v5] Reload Direction Option
Description
This is a very low priority enhancement request but I think is useful in my common use case:
having a "Reload Direction" sub-option under the "Limit the count of simultaneously reloading tabs"
The options would be "Top first" (default) or "Bottom first" (my preferred option).
Use case: This would be useful because I have like a hundred tabs I open once a week unloaded. I just go to the very last tab and then go through them one by one, pressing Ctrl + w to close after done reviewing to go to the next tab in the queue (the tab above it).
To speed up the load wait time, I also highlight a batch, right click and click "Reload". But this can take a minute to load the very next tab because it loads the "top" tabs first.
You can already do this if you right-click and drag to select tabs, and then click reload from the context menu. The tabs will reload in the order you dragged them - the first one will be where you started the drag, the last one will be where you ended the drag. So you if drag from the bottom up, then the bottom will reload first.
@nearcatch can you share a quick recording of that? I have "Long Right click on a Tab" set to duplicate enabled but even when I disabled it I am not able to right-click and drag to select tabs.
Anyway, your idea is better if it worked: just make the reloading process occur in the same order that they were selected. Though that might be more intensive coding wise since someone may have selected tabs in different orders.
Just right-click and drag and tabs get selected. I'm using the v5 beta but it behaved the same way in v4.

Ahh, that is available if one is not using the native tab context menus. I have native context menu enabled. I have a couple of Addon's features I like to use from the native context menus (TabMover and FoxyTab).

TabMover seems like something that is replicated in Sidebery's context menu options for moving to other windows. But I see how FoxyTab is useful.
Yes, after testing native context menus, directional reloading should probably be added some way. Either making the current directional loading work with native menus, or adding an option to specify direction.
